GROUNDING PRONG
EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible
metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out
damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the
dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts
and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting
the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance
between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure to follow
these instructions can create excessive drying times and
fire hazards.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible
plastic venting materials. If your present system is made up
of plastic duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or semi-
rigid metal duct. In Canada and the United States if metal (foil
type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by
the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers
and in the United States must also comply with the Outline for
Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, UL standard 2158A. Flexible
venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed and
trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and
increase the risk of fire. Ensure the present duct is free of
any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
- Risk of Fire - A clothes dryer must be
exhausted outdoors.
Do not exhaust dryer into a chimney, a
wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space or any concealed space
of a building. A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. If the
dryer is not exhausted outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled
into the laundry area. An accumulation of lint in any area of the
home can create a health and fire hazard. The dryer must be
connected to an exhaust outdoors. Regularly inspect the
outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint
around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding
area.

3 NOT RECOMMENDED
Do not allow combustible materials (for
example: clothing, draperies/curtains, paper) to come in
contact with exhaust system. The dryer MUST NOT be
exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed
space of a building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire
hazard.
Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number
of elbows allowed in the "MAXIMUM LENGTH" charts can
cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust system. Plugging
the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase drying
times.
Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent
system, nor use any screws, rivets or other fastening means
that extend into the duct and catch lint to assemble the
exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the
screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard
as well as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood
to terminate the duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape.
All male duct pipe fittings MUST be installed downstream with
the flow of air.
Explosion hazard. Do not install the dryer
where gasoline or other flammables are kept or stored. If
the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18
inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion, fire or burns.
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the
dryer and the point the exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down)
and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure MUST NOT be higher than 0.75
inches of water column. If the system back pressure is
less than 0.75 inches of water column, the system is
acceptable. If the manometer reading is higher than 0.75
inches of water column, the system is too restrictive and
the installation is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable,
certain extenuating circumstances could affect the performance
of the dryer:
• Only the rigid metal duct work should be used.
• Venting vertical through a roof may expose the exhaust
system to down drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.
• Running the exhaust system through an uninsulated area
may cause condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
• Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will cause
an increase in vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum
of every 18 months with normal usage. The more the dryer is
used, the more often you should check the exhaust system and
vent hood for proper operation.
EXHAUST DIRECTION
All dryers shipped from the factory are set up for rear exhausting.
However, on electric dryers, exhausting can be to the right or left
side of the cabinet or the bottom of the dryer. On gas dryers,
exhausting can be to the right side of the cabinet or the bottom of
the dryer. Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing
Exhaust Kit, P/N 131456800, available through your parts
distributor. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.
EXHAUST DUCT LOCATING DIMENSIONS
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
ELECTRIC Dryer
The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe electrical installation of your dryer. Failure
to follow these instructions can create electrical shock and/
or a fire hazard.
This appliance MUST be properly grounded.
Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded.
Follow the instructions in this manual for proper grounding.
Do not use an extension cord with this dryer.
Some extension cords are not designed to withstand the amounts
of electrical current this dryer utilizes and can melt, creating
electrical shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within reach
of the receptacle for the length power cord to be purchased,
allowing some slack in the cord. Refer to the pre-installation
requirements in this manual for the proper power cord to be
purchased.
A U.L. approved strain relief must be installed
onto power cord. If the strain relief is not attached, the cord
can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut by any movement
of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
Do not use an aluminum wired receptacle
with a copper wired power cord and plug (or vice versa).
A chemical reaction occurs between copper and aluminum and
can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle
is a copper wired power cord with a copper wired
receptacle.
NOTE: Dryers operating on 208 volt power supply will have longer
drying times than operating on 240 volt power supply.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
USA ELECTRIC Dryer
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock
by a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2. If your dryer is equipped with a power supply cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the
plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper wired
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If in doubt,
call a licensed electrician. Do not modify plug provided
with the appliance.
For a permanently connected dryer:
1. The dryer MUST be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be
run with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

GAS CONNECTION
1. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of the
dryer.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the dryer to L.P. gas service
without converting the gas valve. An L.P. conversion kit
must be installed by a qualified gas technician.
2.Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or approved
pipe from gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe
located on the back of the dryer (see pages 6 and 7). Use
a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch (1.27 cm to 0.96 cm) reducer for a
connection. Apply an approved thread sealer that is resistant
to the corrosive action of liquefied gases on all pipe
connections.
3. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line to allow gas to
flow through pipe.
4. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water solution.
NEVER test for gas leaks with an open flame.
GENERAL INSTALLATION
1. Connect the exhaust duct to outside exhaust system (see
pages 3 and 4). Use duct tape to seal all joints.
2. With the dryer in its final position, adjust one or more of
the legs until the dryer is resting solid on all four legs.
Place a level on top of the dryer. The dryer MUST be
level and resting solid on all four legs.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. NOTE: Check
to ensure the power is off at circuit breaker/fuse box before
plugging the power cord into the outlet.
4. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
Before operating the dryer, make sure the
dryer area is clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors. Also
see that nothing (such as boxes, clothing, etc.)
obstructs the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
5. Run the dryer through a cycle check for proper operation.
NOTE: On gas dryers, before the burner will light, it is
necessary for the gas line to be bled of air. If the burner
does not light within 45 seconds the first time the dryer is
turned on, the safety switch will shut the burner off. If this
happens, turn the timer to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before
making another attempt to light.
